Steve Harvey personally set the record straight on Friday about the recent rumors regarding his personal life that had many people chatting about on social media.
In a video post made on X (formerly known as Twitter), the television host, 66, angrily slammed the rumors that his wife Marjorie Bridges, 58, allegedly cheated on him with the couple's bodyguard and personal chef.
He also apologized for the 'unfunny comic' tweet that was posted on X, which he explained was posted on his account by a staff member.
'????️ I’m personally addressing this,' Harvey wrote on August 25.
The video was taken from the waist up and showed The Celebrity Family Feud host wearing a white short sleeve shirt and a green cargo-patterned sun hat, which came with two black strings on it.

Harvey stood outside on the green grass area and in front of a white fence, and in the video, he first addressed the rumors surrounding Bridges's infidelity, and slammed them altogether.
“I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do because we fine… I ain’t got no time for rumors and gossip,' Harvey stated in the video.
The cheating rumors first started earlier this week on X, formerly known as Twitter, and quickly went viral, claiming that Marjorie cheated on Steve with their bodyguard and one of their personal chefs.
The 66-year-old spends the rest of the video, which is 56-seconds long, apologizing for a since-deleted post on his X account, which asked his followers to name the ' comedian that they didn’t find funny at all.'
Although the tweet (since-deleted) was made on Harvey's account, the television host explained that he didn't personally write and post it. Rather, it was a staff member of his who wrote the tweet.
Somebody works for me on my Twitter put a statement out that was totally negative. I gotta take responsibility for it ’cause they work for me. But the engagement was talking about ‘name a comedian you don’t think is funny.’ Why would I do something like that?” he said in a video response.
Like several celebrities do, Harvey also has people who work for him specifically to handle his social media accounts.
Harvey also stated that he would never post a tweet like the one that the staff member posted on the television host's X account, explaining that it didn't match his brand.
'My whole brand is to be motivational, and I’m gonna turn around a say something like that? .... I’m all about positivity. I would’ve never done nothing like that,' Harvey stated.
It was the staffer: When addressing the since-delted tweet that asked his followers to name the ' comedian that they didn’t find funny at all', Harvey said that it wasn't him who wrote and posted the tweet. Rather, it was a staff member, who handles the television host's social media accounts, who did it

'I’m so pissed off right now, man,” he went on. “Talkin’ about, ‘I was trying to get some engagement.’ Okay, okay, you trying to get some employment, too…Now I gotta come on here and do a damn selfie. So here it is: I’m sorry, man. My bad, y’all. Won’t happen again though,' the Television host said.
